Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018149476A1] A method and apparatus for generating print data are described herein. An apparatus comprising an image processor (110) is configured to select a region of an image spanning an intersection between at least two adjacent sub-images that partition the image. The spanning region is divided based on a non-linear path that is determined on the basis of a user input, resulting in at least two modified adjacent sub-images. Print data operable to cause a printing device (150) to print the respective modified adjacent sub-images are generated on the basis of the dividing.
